great for our needs
We have minimal need for more than windows open and ceiling fans in the high mountain desert area in which we live, so this is great for the days we happen to be home in the hottest part of the day. We have filled it with water and set timer for 3 hours so we are careful not to let it run out of water on several afternoons and been quite comfortable. It is not like having air conditioning but much cooler than just a box fan. Even more rare is a hot evening but had one or two and just rolled this into the bedroom and let it run for the hour or two before the outside temperature cooled naturally.
In our single digit humidity it does take a lot of water, so buyers should understand this is not something to go off and leave and think the area will be cool when you get home. Two-three hours is all we can run it without refilling the water reservoir.
Great product for our needs.

great buy
This air cooler actually works! We use it on the lanai and The ONLY drawback is, it is extremely loud, even on the lowest setting.

Deceptive Claims
The only good thing about this product is the function display. It claims to lower ambient temperature by up to 20 degrees. I tested it by letting it run for two hours in a room upstairs, after two hours the room was exactly the same temperature and it was basically just acting as a fan. Very dissappointed in this product and would have sent it back except for the hassle and the fact that I could use a "fan" in my screen room. Additionally in it's advertising there is no mention that the fan requires a door and window to be open negating the use of it on a rainy, hot humid day.

Thank you for your question. The Evaporative Air Cooler with Adjustable Flow Valve does not require venting. For optimal circulation and improved cooling, place the back of the unit near a slightly opened window or door; a window on the opposite side of the room should also be slightly opened.
